Question

Is-39 a solution for the
equation below?
YES or
NO

P/13=3

Answer 1

Answer :-

NO

Let's solve it first by Method 1 (Transposition Method) :-

`(p)/(13) = 3`

`p = 13 * 3`

`= 39`

Let's solve it first by Method 2 (Systematic Method) :-

`(p)/(13) = 3`

`(p)/(13) * 3 = 3 * 13`

If we cancel 13 from LHS and RHS both sides

`(p)/(39) = 3`

`p = 13 * 3 \\ = 39`

Answer 2

No

Explanation:

`(p)/(13)` = 3 ( multiply both sides by 13 to clear the fraction )

p = 13 × 3 = 39

then p = 39 is the solution not p = - 39
